I had my final session with the Virginia International Academy students yesterday. This group has been such a bright spot for me. They have been receptive to trying new styles and techniques and have made some beautiful art. They told me they are anxious to take it home to China this summer for their families to see. Yesterday they wanted to paint a beach scene so we did a large canvas. Great work!

At Art Camp yesterday our great young painters recreated Paul Gauguin’s “Tahitian Landscape”. And what beautiful recreations they made! Just take a look. They are terrific. And we do get a little paint on us when we work, don’t we Sloan? LOL

We painted beach scenes at a special class yesterday at The Studio with a day care group. From time to time we get special groups in for a class. They did a great job painting this summer scene. Good work everyone!
